Freeze/Suspend Household Bills For Everyone Affected By Coronavirus

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Due to the Coronavirus many individuals and companies are being massively affected by the virus that is currently impacting the UK and everyone across the world. I am asking for this UK govement/Parliament to introduce emergency laws for the government to freeze/suspend all household bills.
Many people are really worried of the effects of the Coronavirus will have on daily lifes and living. The gov is asking people to self isolated who is over a certain age, pregnant, long term illnesses (me included) to stay Indoors and follow guidelines. My career/husband is worried to go outside because of my illnesses and immune system. SSP payments wouldn’t even cover our rent and many others rent/bills. Many other EU countries are already doing much more to freeze/suspend household bills.
